RizzitGo Shipping: How to Choose the Fastest Delivery Route for Your Country
In today's global e-commerce landscape, choosing the right shipping method can make the difference between satisfied customers and missed opportunities. At RizzitGo, we understand that speed, reliability, and cost-effectiveness are paramount. This guide will show you how to leverage spreadsheet analysis to compare key shipping factors and select the optimal delivery route for your specific country requirements.
Key Factors in Route Selection
Average Transit Times
Delivery speed varies significantly between carriers and routes. While some promise 3-5 business days, others may take 2-3 weeks. Consider:
- Carrier reliability and consistency
- Seasonal fluctuations and holiday impacts
- Direct vs. consolidated shipping options
- Regional infrastructure capabilities
Customs Clearance Results
Customs processing can create unexpected delays. Different routes may have varying clearance efficiency:
- Pre-cleared vs. destination-cleared packages
- Documentation requirements by country
- Duties and taxes calculation methods
- Restricted items variations
Total Shipping Costs
The cheapest option isn't always the most cost-effective when considering the total package:
- Base shipping fees and fuel surcharges
- Hidden customs handling fees
- Insurance and package protection
- Return processing costs

Analysis Techniques
Weighted Scoring System
Assign importance weights to each factor based on your priorities. For example:
- Speed: 40% weight
- Cost: 35% weight
- Reliability: 25% weight
Calculate weighted scores to objectively compare options.
Cost-Per-Day Analysis
Divide total cost by transit days to determine your cost per delivery day. This helps identify the true value of faster shipping options.
Scenario Planning
Create different scenarios for high-value vs. low-value shipments, urgent vs. non-urgent deliveries, and seasonal peak periods.
Putting It Into Practice
Step 1: Gather Current Data
Collect shipping quotes from at least 3-5 carriers for your specific country routes. Include all potential hidden costs.
Step 2: Input Historical Data
Add your own shipping history to validate carrier claims about transit times and reliability.
Step 3: Apply Your Priorities
Use your weighted scoring system to rank options according to what matters most for your business.
Step 4: Test and Refine
Implement your top choice for a trial period and track actual performance against predictions.
Maximize Your Shipping Efficiency
By systematically comparing shipping options through spreadsheet analysis, you can make data-driven decisions that balance speed, cost, and reliability. Remember that the "fastest" route isn't just about transit times—it's about the complete journey from warehouse to customer doorstep, including predictable customs clearance and transparent pricing.
